1. What was the date of the largest amphibious military assault ever?

2. Why is "SOS" used as a distress call?

3. Who is Lol Tolhurst?

4. What was Ozzy Osbourne referring to when he offered Aleister Crowley a ride on his white horse?

5. What was the name of the US Navy vessel which delivered important components for the atomic bomb to Tinian Island in the Pacific, and why or how did she become super famous? (Besides her commissioned mission?)
